About Guitar Accessories

Guitar accessories might not be the most exciting part of your setup, but they’re easily some of the most important. Can you imagine getting to a gig and realizing you forgot your picks, your cable, or your tuner? Not exactly a great start.

Whether you’re piecing together your first electric guitar rig or fine-tuning your favorite acoustic, Sweetwater has the accessories to help you stay focused on what matters most: making music.

Guitar Accessory FAQs

What guitar accessories do I need?

Here are a few core essentials every player will want on hand:

  • A tuner
  • A strap
  • Spare strings
  • Extra picks
  • A cable (if you’re plugging in)
  • A gig bag or case to protect your guitar

Other nice-to-haves include a capo, a stand, a string winder, and a cleaning kit with fretboard conditioner. For the full breakdown, check out our guide to the 10 essentials every guitar player needs, or keep reading for acoustic- and electric-specific short lists.

What other acoustic guitar accessories should I consider?

In addition to the essentials listed above, acoustic players can get more out of their playing experience by dropping a few specialty accessories in their cases.

A soundhole or case humidifier tops the list. These affordable add-ons help reduce the risk of cracks, warping, and neck movement during dry seasons. A clip-on headstock tuner is another go-to for fast, silent tuning onstage or at home.

Hitting the road with your music? A soundhole pickup is a convenient way to get a DI signal from a non-electric acoustic. Add a soundhole cover (or feedback buster) to help tame runaway feedback that can occur on loud stages, and you’ve got a rig that’s ready for coffeehouse gigs to festival stages.

How about electric guitar accessories? What should I look for?

Beyond the standard cables, straps, and tuners, there are a handful of easy-to-overlook accessories that experienced electric players swear by.

A silent guitar cable (also called a kill-switch cable) helps prevent loud pops when you unplug on a hot stage. A stash of spare 9V batteries and a 1 SPOT (or other daisy-chainable power supply) can help keep your pedalboard going strong. A brass guitar slide is another smart addition to the case compartment if you jam with blues or country musicians.

One of the smartest long-term investments you can make in your axe is a setup tool kit. These often include useful tools like truss rod wrenches, hex keys, nut files, string clippers, and string height gauges. Learning to dial in your preferred action, intonation, and neck relief at home or on the road is a sure way to get the most out of every guitar you own.

Where can I buy guitar accessories?

We might be biased, but Sweetwater is a great place to start. Between our huge selection of guitar parts and accessories, free shipping on most orders, and friendly Sales Engineers to help with gear upgrade and maintenance questions, you’ll find what you need to keep your rig gig-ready.
